Spektrum

This is perhaps a somewhat daring mix of retro chic and modern gourmet overkill. Daring because the respective main target groups might reject the other pole. I myself was curious about the contrast and especially about the chypre part of the base.
First comes an intense liqueur-like fruit sweetness, somewhat undefined, the strawberry quite artificial, but edible and not pungent. The color of the liquid fits perfectly with the liqueur I'm imagining. There could also be some plum in it. The liqueur quickly turns sugary and then the floral slowly comes through, first with more freshness from the rose and later, together with the retro base, more jasmine.
In the middle section, the contrasting notes remind me a little of Mon Paris. However, I am at war with oakmoss, and this, together with jasmine, gives the perfume something puffy and musty at the end, albeit only minimally. On the other hand, there is something intriguing about the blend and I don't think the oakmoss came through on the skin like it did on paper. I will probably test it more often. With oakmoss, I often have this association with coats from the 80s that were waiting for new owners and fresh adventures in the second-hand stores of the 90s with perfume residues that can still be smelled...
Despite the somewhat artificial fruits, the blend is of high quality, all the notes last a long time and nothing falls apart. Nevertheless, I find the price steep and therefore prefer to reach for my So Elixir Purple when I'm in the mood for fruity sweetness with a slightly rough, earthy addition in the fall.

Starts bright and citrusy with beautiful bergamot, with a sweet and cakey background. Lavender blossom sprigs are restrained. Then becomes similar to Goddess, this vanilla-cream candy flavor. But even then less lavender herbaceousness and lighter overall. Fades out after 6-8 hours on the skin and simply becomes lighter and more milky as it progresses. So smells high quality and the durability is also quite good. I am very happy to have ordered it.

This perfume is a crusher with a very long shelf life. It starts surprisingly similar to Pure XS for Her but with orange oil in the top note. Sandalwood and vanillin are added, creating a powdery, sweet base note. In the heart, it is consistently deeply floral, but I wouldn't have guessed which flowers without knowing the pyramid. Intense and sweet, yes, lime blossom honey and a whole forest of lime blossom around it can come close. The whole thing developed again overnight, I woke up with Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle on my arm. It stayed that way for a long time. Brilliant, because it's been discontinued for ages and the rest in my bottle is no longer in order.
A clash of the giants. According to the INCI, it also contains real extracts and essential oils. So I put it in the fridge to prevent it from tipping over. Hypnotic Vanilla & Orange Blossom is not a summer fragrance and should be applied sparingly. I will take it out again in the fall and until then only treat myself to a mini dose from time to time. This beginning with the pure XS association bothers me a little, as it is a duplication for me and irritates me a little. Orange blossom must also be in it (it's also in the INCIs) because it reminds me a little of the Golden Decade range in the middle phase. Zara perfumers do some wild things...

Starts off very strawberry-like, quite authentic and intense, somehow a little childish-squishy but engaging. Then comes a full-bodied, fully bloomed pink rose blossom, as if you were holding your nose in such a flower. This rose note lingers for hours, while the base underneath develops from a strawberry cream dessert to a vanilla cream dessert. The musk is also used discreetly, simply like warmth rising from the skin. Neither sultry nor powdery-dry. I find this fragrance special because of the beautiful rose note. It is no longer childish but simply gentle. The rose is sweetly understated but authentic and restrained. Without sour notes. Perhaps a little too weak for the price, because I already know that 2 sprays would not be enough for me. And of course it lacks something like mystery and depth, unless you can see the mystery of the rose in full bloom... But it lasted until the evening. The first Passione that I like, because without this pronounced aquatic synthetic note.

I think the combination of rose and strawberry is generally a good one. I usually like to add strawberry slices to my water and add 1 to 3 dried rose buds (expensive but intense, health food store).

I ordered it and was very surprised that it smelled completely different from what I remembered from the wrist test. I have therefore deleted my statement. Back then, I hardly noticed the top notes and only smelled vanilla cookies. Yesterday, when I tested it at home, I was met with an intense herbaceous, ethereal freshness. Lavender! Good lavender, which is gently softened by the vanilla and the slight sweetness of the berries (berries but very subtle, I think). Later, I smell the apple blossom, which I usually don't like and find artificial, but here the floral composition as a whole is softly fresh and somewhat creamy. It makes the fragrance feminine, despite the lavender. The vanilla becomes more prevalent as the fragrance progresses, but retains a green touch. The vanilla note as a whole smells high-quality, and the fragrance also reminds me a little of Goddess EdP. I sprayed it generously on my left and right neck and found the rising cloud of fragrance very pleasant and calming for the next few hours. The sillage is not overwhelming but so light and yummie that you can't get enough of it. A perfume for all occasions with a beautiful aura.
